Black and White Gift Ensemble

Today is my first projects as a member of the Zappy Dots design team. I have to say I am loving it. Their designs are great and the size of them are workable too. 

I fell in love with these Damask Hearts. 

I ended up creating a trio of things perfect for gift giving. 

Supplies: patten paper (Scrap Works), cardstock (The Paper Studio),  punches (Fikars and EK Success), fair (Zappy Dots), embossing machine and folders (Sizzix), ink (Quick Quotes and Stampabilities), gems (Eyelet Outlet),stitch template (American Crafts), washi tape (Queen & CO.) twine (Timeless Twine),gift bag, and doily.

For this bow I used this tutorial. It is a never fail one since I never had a problem making these.

Here is a close-up of the gift bag.

I am loving the flair on this card. I added a gem strip to the edge. The sentiments is stitched with twine.

Thanks for dropping by and be sure to check out Zappy Dots site for all you flair needs.
p.s. Did you know that you use these badges in ewerly. You can get the badges with magnets on them to attach to jewerly blanks that they sell.

Color Challenge

At Embellish Me Happy this month's challenge is a color combo and banner challenge.
I choose this color scheme. I love the rich tones.

Here was the other color combo you can choose. 

Since it was a color challenge I really had to dig into my stash to find the right shades. I ended up finding everything and was able to create this "Get Well" card for a friend's dad.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio and Die Cuts With a View), stamp (Hero Arts), embossing powder ( Adirondack),  ink (Quick Quotes), twine (Timeless Twine), embossing folder (The Paper Studio), stickers (Gltz Designs and Lily Bee Designs), punch EK Success), flowers (?) and embossing machine (Sizzix)

You have until July 6th to complete this challenge. All you have to do is create a project that used one of these color combos and banners. One lucky participant will receive at mason jar filled with scrappy goodies. Link your project here on the sidebar.
